Another meet and another Jamaican sweep in the women’s 100-meter dash Thursday at the Athletissima, the annual Diamond League Meeting in Lausanne, Switzerland.

Only this time, it was Olympic silver medalist Shelly-Ann Fraser-Pryce producing an all-time great performance, running the No. 3 wind-legal effort in history by clocking 10.60 seconds to edge reigning Tokyo gold medalist Elaine Thompson-Herah (10.64) and bronze medalist Shericka Jackson (10.92).

Thompson-Herah, 29, had run 10.54 on Aug. 21 at the Prefontaine Classic at Hayward Field in Eugene, Ore., to achieve the No. 2 all-time wind-legal performance, after defending her Olympic title July 31 in Tokyo by clocking 10.61, which is now equal to No. 4 in history.

Fraser-Pryce, 34, lowered her previous-best 10.63 from June 5 in Kingston, which is now the No. 7 all-time wind-legal effort.
